That is a lie. We've been over CC 1782 before. Can't you come up with a different paragraph to take out of context? SECTION ONE MAN'S VOCATION LIFE IN THE SPIRIT CHAPTER ONE THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON ARTICLE 6 MORAL CONSCIENCE Do you think the human person has no dignity and there is no...

Is the Church a visible, physically identifiable reality with an institutional government that keeps guard over doctrine and discipline, or is it a kind of invisible, loose union of various communities of Christians with different opinions on doctrinal questions and no institutional reality...

post #195: Augustine of Hippo wrote to Jerome, ' I have learned to yield this respect and honour only to the canonical books of Scripture: of these alone do I most firmly believe that the authors were completely free from error. And if in these writings I am perplexed by anything which appears...

Read it slowly, Stan. Jesus says, "...YOUR tradition..."; the traditions the Jews invented to avoid giving honor to their parents under the pretense of giving all to God. Read the whole chapter. Jesus is not condemning the traditions they were supposed to follow, and certainly not the...

Timothy, as a child, studied the New Testament??? You ignore what verse 14 and 15 clearly states. Factual history says Jesus founded the Catholic Church. Any other founder of your inventions is revisionist history. You can find lots of false histories all over the 'net. Sola scriptura is not...

This quote does not support SS, but condemns the heretics who have deviated from the truth by their opinions apart from the Church. Sound familiar? This quote does not support SS, it supports the scriptures of truth. "Scriptures of truth" means the scriptures are materially sufficient, it does...

Whose tradition is Jesus referring to, and which traditions were they?

2 Tim 3: [14] But as for you, continue in what you have learned (TRADITION) and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it (MAGISTERIUM) [15] and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings (SCRIPTURE) which are able to instruct you for salvation through...

Scripture, Tradition and the Church are in harmony. Just because Tradition is a different mode of transmission of the Word of God does not mean it is inferior to the Written Word of God. No Tradition, no Scriptures, it's that simple. No Church, no Tradition...even simpler. No Jesus, no...

It is complicated but a summary might help. Melchizedek possessed his priesthood not by virtue of his earthly mother or father, i.e., his ancestral heritage, (as did the Levites) but because of a mysterious, special relationship with God. In addition, whereas the sacrificial service of...

Christ can't break any of the Ten Commandments since he is God, and his followers can choose to break the commandments or they/we would have no free will. Eternal security or once-saved-always-saved or imputed righteousness was never heard of for 1500 years and it's not in the Bible.

I would like to point out that the Church, the family of God, is among other things a divinely ordained society and as in all societies there must be an authority whose word is final if chaos is to be avoided. The Jews, for example, had patriarchs, judges and the then kings as well as prophets...

Is this some form of hyper-Calvinism??? It's never too late to talk to a well qualified Christian counselor. Better still, man-up and see a priest about the truth of whatever pain/abandonment you may have experienced, and stop this displacing on the Catholic Church. From one old man to another...

What's wrong with that? It's ok for you to follow the traditions of Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Knox and cherry pick from a legion of dissenting, conflicting "reformers", but it's not ok for Catholics to interpret from historical, authoritive and consistent parameters??? Yea, it's in scripture...

No Pope could possibly be an emperor. No emperor could possibly be a pope. Emperors often killed popes, that is a historical fact. You are wasting your time with your absurd fantasies. Check the history section of any library for a dose of reality.

Catholics don't need the Magisterium to tell us that abortion is murder. "There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church....As a matter of fact, if we Catholics...

Faith 2087 Our moral life has its source in faith in God who reveals his love to us. St. Paul speaks of the "obedience of faith"9 as our first obligation. He shows that "ignorance of God" is the principle and explanation of all moral deviations.10 Our duty toward God is to believe in him and to...

Webers_Home, on 19 Jul 2015 - 8:35 PM, said: The bible as a sole authority is an unbiblical tradition of men, not remotely Catholic. Your testimony is phony. It also instilled within me a trust in the integrity of Jesus Christ. Very early in my youth; I began to believe that Christ knew what...

The Pope does not accept homosexual behaviors. Not a day goes by without a pundit or editorial writer opining on what Pope Francis said about some controversial issue. While every pope, as well as every religious and secular leader, properly has his remarks subjected to scrutiny, Pope Francis...

So...you support gay "marriage"?
